So they can bill your insurance company for a visit

maybe they want to see if you still need the script? could be a dozen reasons. makes no sense that they havent checked in on you in five years about the prescription.

He said he had a checkup in March. Woody's answer is correct.

march was half a year ago

Yeah but you said "makes no sense that they havent checked in on you in five years about the prescription", when they really just checked in on him less than six months ago. As long as it's not one of the highly controlled substances like percocets or whatever they can write a prescription that's good for a full year. So unless they're looking to change his dose or something there's really no need to have a checkup more than once per year.

best of luck to you and your family, RP

I think if it's a schedule 2 or 3 drug, a checkup every six months is pretty much the norm.

at first i thought the check up was unrelated to his script.

There are no refills allowed on schedule 2 drugs, so you're basically going to have to see the dr every month for those. Pretty sure schedule 3 and 4 scripts are valid for six months. I figured pac was referring to some kind of daily maintenance drug like something for blood pressure or cholesterol.

what's the drug? They're identifying new counterindications and side effects for long established drugs all the time. due diligence, yo

copy the letter h, paste the letter h. I'd rather just keep hitting ctrl+v than that alt code.

Had to reboot, but it's working now. That was weird. It was both my laptop's built-in keyboard and my external keyboard. The C key was also not working.
